National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1887-06-30
The Financial Peril.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN All In
telligent and patriotic men must commend
the position of the REPUBLICAN, In Its edi-
torial of Wednesday last on an extra ses.
sion Of Congress. Its appeal for suffering
people ought not to pass unheeded, and Its
generous spirit ought to shame the course
OF those who are willing to see the country
sacrificed for party advantage. The spirit
of that appeal cIgnifes Journalism and
ought to add weight to It's facts and argu-
ments with Mr.. Cleveland.
The advice given is wholesome, and II
followed would redeem the administration
and outweigh It's many sins. The fact
stands against all attempts to conceal 1t
that conspiracy to make low prices has
seized all the great powers Of the nation.
Its method Is to contract the volume Of
money in circulation. The process is sub
tie and silent and its evil potency known
only to the few. But 1t is the most diabol-
ical machinery that crime ever used against
innocence. 1t combines the meanness of
the speak thief with the cold blooded afro
city Of red-handed piracy.
By changing the standard OF payment II
compels every debtor to pay more, while
every product of labor and every form OF
useful service is reduced vastly In price.
Prices have fallen, while debts Of all kinds
increased by interest hang over the heads OF
the people Ike the sword or DamocleS sus
pended by hair. There is sense OF in.
security In the tenure Of employment, and
wages cannot be kept up with ever cheap
ening products.
The homes Of the people are being sold
away from them.
The treasury hoard takes nearly three
hundred millions, Of the peoples money
away from them. This is done because the
conspirators have willed It. They have
found means to employ the executive officers
of the United States as the efficient agents
Of their wicked designs. This is the mon
strous offense that smells to heaven--the
audacious scandal of our time.
The very men sworn to see that the re-
public shall suffer no detriment become the
tools, pirates, to ruin their country and i'm
poverish and degrade her people.
Great God, when will the awakening
Gomez When will the Ice thaw!
Il In due time an outraged people will rise
and sweep away the official abettors Of this
great crime In their stormy wrath. In that
day the warning words of the REPUBLICAN
will be needed, and its fidelity to the right
rewarded by riotous gratitude.

JAPANESE cLEyERNEss,
Their Excellent Reprints shut Out
Demand for American Books.

Dchthu tor A"eftChh bOohbs
An Illustration OF the cleverness and lint
tatlve power Of the Japanese, which might
also serve to point an argument In the
discussion Of the international copyright
question, is afforded by certain Japan
csc publications which have been ex-
hibited to prominent officers OF the De
pertinent OF State. It appears that when
the study OF English was made compulsory
In Japan number OF American school
books were imported, and by formal order
made the text books at the native schools.
American bookmakers had quite lucra.
tive trade for a time. But the Japanese
soon turned their attention 10 the subject,
and after few experiments began turning
out clever reprints OF the American pub
lications Of such excellence and In such
quantities that the demand for the Ameri-
can product has practically ceased The
only inferlodty OF the Japanese books
noticeable az casual examination is In the
Illustrations, and this is accounted for by
the fact that the native engravers have not
yet discovered the art Of cutting their pic
tures on the grain end OF the block, aud
uniformly engrave on the side, which 70.
